Chapter 1155 The World Is Destined to Destroy
'The reason is the essence of this world: the derivative world!'

'There are only two possible outcomes for the derivative world: either it is destroyed and transformed into cosmic energy, or its world rules materialize, forming the real world. However, there's a 99% chance it will be the former.'

'Why? ’

'Because the manifestation of rules requires far too much energy; moreover, there must be at least one person in the world who has completely seen through, or even mastered, the rules.'

'Given the current state of the world of painting, this is virtually impossible.'

'Why is it impossible?'

'Because… has the host noticed? The rules of the drawing world are still in chaos.'

'Chaos? Is there?'

"Of course, I've seen the background information on the game 'Painting the World.' The original idea of ​​the artist who created this world was to create something out of nothing. But when this work evolved into a world, the idea of ​​creating something out of nothing became impossible."

"Because of the conservation of energy in the universe, there is no such thing as creation out of thin air. Creation requires energy first, and basic matter second. Only with these two conditions can creation be possible."

This contradicts the idea of ​​creating something out of thin air.

'Furthermore, the rule of creation is the fundamental rule of the universe, and a small, derivative world like the World of Painting cannot contain this rule.'

'Even the people of this world, in creating and utilizing this rule, can create a burden on the world.'

'Burden? What burden?'

What threat does the host perceive this painted world to be facing?

'Stale air?'

"That's right!" the little system said with a look of satisfaction.

"You're saying that when artists create things, they also generate turbid air? The more things they create, the more turbid air they generate?" Shi Jia suddenly felt that this world was somewhat magical.

No, this world is inherently magical and wondrous!

The small system nodded in satisfaction.

"How is that possible?" Shi Jia exclaimed in disbelief. "I've created things before, and there's clearly no foul air here!"

"The turbid energy didn't originate from the painter; it's a direct backlash from the rules of creation onto this world!" the little system said earnestly. "Host, you must understand that you should only do what you are capable of. This world of painting, which is not yet fully formed, is constantly heading towards destruction!"

The little system was old-fashioned and incompetent. Shi Jia was in a mess at the moment and had no mood to argue with it.

'But the rule of this world is creation, isn't it? How can we expect artists to stop creating?' Shi Jia frowned.

"Host, we're here to do a mission anyway, and we've already completed it. We can leave anytime, so why worry about so much?" The little system waved its hand.

'But, but Captain, the Madam and the others…'

'Don't worry, they won't die out anytime soon anyway; their descendants will live long enough to die of old age.'

Even so, Shi Jia, who had experienced a world corrupted by spiritual energy, couldn't easily let it go. She stared at the little system, 'Do you have a way?'

"No!" the small system said decisively. "Even if everyone ceases to materialize from this moment on, the turbid energy will not disappear, and the world will still be destroyed. Even faster."

Because the world we draw is a derivative world, and the rules are the creations we draw, if the people in the world do not follow these rules, then the world has no meaning to exist.

"Oh no, how could this happen!" Shi Jia frowned. "Is there really no way to fix this?"

"No!" the little system said. "Host, you should go to sleep quickly; you have to hunt in the Black Zone tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Shi Jia responded weakly, lying quietly on the bed, it was unclear whether she had fallen asleep.

……

"Junior? Is work too hard?" Cheng Zi asked worriedly. When she saw Shi Jia this morning, he looked haggard.

"No, I can handle the work." Shi Jia shook her head, taking a deep breath to compose herself.
"Are you really alright?" Chengzi was still worried.

"fine!"

Cheng Zi quickly walked over to Lu Tianxue and whispered, "Let's all take a break." Lu Tianxue suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? Rest? Captain, we haven't even reached the Green Rank area yet." Chen Yinong frowned. They've only walked this far, what's the point of resting? They're not ordinary people.

Lu Tianxue glared at him, and Chen Yinong immediately shut up.

Huang Qi patted his shoulder, gesturing for him to look at Shi Jia. "What's wrong with him?"

"Captain, I'm fine, everyone please continue. I'll keep up." Shi Jia knew that her condition was affecting everyone and felt somewhat apologetic.

"It's alright, there's no rush." ​​Lu Tianxue smiled. "You must be tired these past few days? Didn't you get any rest last night?"

"Hmm, thinking about things." Shi Jia forced a smile.

"Thinking about something? Can you tell us?" Lu Tianxue said, "We're very worried about you!"

Shi Jia remained silent for a while, then said, "Captain, if someone told you that the world is going to end, what would you think?"

"Huh? The end of the world?" Lu Tianxue was stunned, not expecting Shi Jia to be thinking about such things. She exchanged glances with the others, then thought for a moment and said, "Junior? Who told you that? She might be joking with you, you didn't take it seriously, did you?"

Shi Jia shook her head.

Oh no, I actually took it seriously!

"Junior, even if the world is really going to end, it won't be now, right? There's still a long time to go. Besides, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. You really don't need to worry too much," Cheng Zi advised, completely surprised that her junior was so easily fooled.

"Pfft!" Liu Zhan couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Sorry, I just suddenly thought of something funny."

"Hahahaha~" Liu Zhan laughed uncontrollably, clutching his stomach. Huang Qi and Chen Yinong stared at Shi Jia as if he were a complete idiot. Dai Yuxuan, on the other hand, looked at him with astonishment, as if she were seeing him for the first time.

Shi Jia was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed at the sight. Really, he was worried about their world! And they were actually laughing out loud.

Hmph! Whatever. He doesn't care anymore!
"That's enough!" Lu Tianxue suppressed her laughter, stopped everyone, took a deep breath, and looked at Shi Jia, "Junior, don't mind them."

"Hmm." Shi Jia forced a smile.

"Ahem, junior, the idea of ​​the world ending was actually quite popular a few years ago, and there were even some... ahem, rich people spending huge sums of money to build doomsday fortresses. However, later on, the doomsday theory stopped being popular," Huang Qi said, pretending to be serious.

"If you're interested in this, I can recommend a few books."

"Book? What book?"

"My Daily Monster-Slaying Experience in the Apocalypse," "With Space in Hand, the Apocalypse Becomes a Paradise"... Huang Qi earnestly promoted the novels he was reading.

Shi Jia was stunned for a moment, then looked disappointed.

Cheng Zi rolled her eyes. "Huang Qi, don't corrupt your junior!" She could tell Shi Jia was serious. Huang Qi was really going too far in trying to fool his junior like this.

"No way, isn't your junior very interested in the end of the world?" Huang Qi continued his twisted logic. The others didn't interrupt; without a doubt, they didn't believe Shi Jia.

However, Huang Qi's interruption eased Shi Jia's mood slightly, and she smiled, "Thank you for the recommendation, Huang Qi. I'll take a look when I get back."

"Captain, let's keep going."

"Row!"

Shi Jia was still trailing behind the group, but this time Lu Tianxue didn't lead the team. Instead, she came to Shi Jia's side and asked, "Was it Madam Lan Xin who told you about the world's destruction?"

Shi Jia was taken aback. Why would Lu Tianxue think that way?

“I overheard the elders of my family saying that the turbid air in the world is rising year by year, and that it may cover the whole world in a thousand years…” Lu Tianxue said in a low voice.

"Captain, you?"

Lu Tianxue suddenly laughed, "I don't know if this is true or not, but even if it is, it's a thousand years from now. What does it have to do with me?"

"Besides, even if it were true, is there really no way to resolve this?"

"Too much stagnant air? Just purify it, won't that solve the problem?"
